Shaker Snowglobe Card

The reindeer is hand drawn and cut from a silver glitter sheet and so are the small trees in the snow globe.I haven't glued the snow completely so you can play with the snow just by shaking it :) Only problem is the snow gets stuck to the coarse glitter ..so you will have to spend few more minutes shaking the card to keep the reindeer clean ...:)

I have tied a bow around the globe and decorated it with dries leaves,berries n bells.This card has base layered with pp and the snow-globe has few
more layers(3 to be exact !) ,the snap below gives the idea of layers.I took the snap
before placing the globe.

Now lets open the card.You can clearly see leaves n bow over the edge of card in this snap.

card inside

Lots of paper piecing.The Christmas tree is cut from glitter paper and colored with memento ink(which is not much visible :( ), decorated it with some gold glitter strips.The gift boxes and baubles are paper pieced from pps.

drew some spots with blue glitter pen ,some hand-cut pine trees.I have glued some snow.( did you guess ? ) OK..Let me tell :)
I have grated thick white handmade sheet to make the snow .Got the idea here

I have also made a coordinating box for the card.

Now the interesting part..

reused materials

I have used small steel grater to make the snow,reused cookies tray for the globe,fruit packing net for bow and made the berries n bells with glittery chocolate wrappers.
